Using a rubber mallet, begin to tap the tile into the concrete starting in the middle and working your way to the edges. Ensure that you continue vibrating the tile with the rubber mallet until the tile is flush & even with the surrounding concrete.

Weight should be placed on the top of the tiles to hold it in place until the concrete has been set.

Create an edge around the perimeter of the tile using a fine radius edging tool. In addition, a mag float is also used to ensure that the tiles are flush with the height of the concrete to eliminate any tripping points.

Traditional control joins should be installed. Finally, retrace your edges & joins. Once the concrete has set, remove weights & surrounding safety equipment to clean the finished product.
